Next-Generation VAPT: Combining OSINT and AI/ML for Enhanced Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing empowers information security threat intelligence with the fusion of Open-Source Intelligence Tools (OSINT) and Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) to identify and detect vulnerabilities more efficiently and effectively. The book highlights the concept of OSINT for gathering actionable threat intelligence and AI/ML for automating threat detection, which ultimately enhances VAPT processes. The authors explain concepts for assessing the security of networks, wireless networks, performing VAPT on mobile devices, and conducting red teaming, which helps end users deal with upcoming threats at an early stage.It focuses on using machine intelligence for developing and validating exploits and AI-driven exploitation testing, which helps field experts discover and exploit vulnerabilities more quickly and accurately. Readers will find essential ethical and legal considerations in AI/ML and OSINT-based VAPT, ensuring responsible and compliant testing practices, accountability, and transparency. Industry Case Studies with solutions and safeguards are an integral part of the books applied approach.Provides step-by-step guides for implementing AI/ML and OSINT into the VAPT process, including comprehensive guidance for the selection, configuration, and execution of tools for application of these technologiesHelps readers with the most up-to-date methods and approaches that seamlessly blend AI/ML and OSINT to supplement traditional VAPT, enabling readers to remain ahead of new threats as they begin to implement more forward-thinking and intelligent methodologiesProvides readers with an in-depth view on how AI/ML can automate and improve vulnerability assessments and penetration testing, including practical examples for enhancing these technologies within existent security practicesPresents advanced techniques and methodologies for complex environments such as exploit development and validation, wireless network VAPT, web VAPT, threat intelligence, incident response, and Mobile app VAPT with the fusion AI-ML and OSINTReveals how OSINT along with AI/ML have contributed to improving the practice of red teaming, emphasizing the importance of conducting adversarial tests to facilitate response against complex attacks at an early stage

The rapid increase in IT infrastructure and presence in cyber space has given rise to enormous chances of security breach. Cybersecurity is one of the burning issues in today’s modern world and the lack of cybersecurity policy and cyber strategy might make the situation vulnerable. Today blockchain technology has almost covered every sector from business to data security. This book is written for all enthusiastic and cyber professionals in this new era of blockchain technology. Blockchain has already proved its versatile nature as adopted by several governments and tech giants from all over the world. Any anonymous user can trust another anonymous user in the cyber world with the authentication and validation via blockchain technology.Blockchain governance provides a more distributed diffusion of authority in which authentication sources are the individual themselves. This book offers approaches for cybersecurity and cyber defense via blockchain technology to counter cyber-attacks and ransomwares that are increasing every second. The book can be used in many ways by several cybersecurity professionals to secure online data, people, and networks as a part of cybersecurity, information security and cyber defense initiative with several countermeasures and defense strategies in the web. Each chapter of the book provide excellent tools and techniques for the burning and challenging issues in today’s modern cyber (and zero trust) world.

In this digital era, a smart city can become an intelligent society by using advances in emerging technologies. Specifically, the rapid adoption of deep learning (DL) in fusion with blockchain technology has led to a new digital smart city ecosystem. A broad spectrum of DL and blockchain applications promises solutions for problems in areas ranging from risk management and financial services to cryptocurrency to public and social services. Furthermore, the convergence of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology is revolutionizing the smart city network architecture to build sustainable ecosystems. However, these advances in technology bring both opportunities and challenges in creating sustainable smart cities.To help planners and developers to meet these challenges and exploit these opportunities, Deep Learning and Blockchain Technology for Smart and Sustainable Cities takes a deep dive into the technologies and applications that enable smart and sustainable cities. It provides a comprehensive literature review of the security issues and problems that impact the deployment of blockchain systems in smart cities. It presents a detailed discussion of key factors in the convergence of blockchain and DL technologies that help form sustainable smart societies. This book also discusses blockchain security enhancement solutions and summarizes main key points necessary for developing various blockchain and DL‑based intelligent transportation systems.This book concludes with a discussion of open issues and future research direction.These include new security suggestions and guidelines for a sustainable smart city ecosystem. Also discussed is 6G‑enabled DL and blockchain in real‑time applications.
